(0:00) Back from the Olympics and ... sick of French Fries?
(5:00) New Unbuttoned theme song perhaps ... with a country vibe?
(7:30) Wow-O-Meter
(8:30) Caleb Williams: “If that’s not the closest thing to Mahomes, then I don’t know what is”
(16:30) Jayden Daniels: “The Commanders have to be pumped about what they’ve got”
(21:00) Drake Maye: “For the second week in a row, he showed he’s not ready. He’s reluctant to throw the ball right now.”
(27:45) Bo Nix: “There’s not as much Wow as Caleb. But this is like Drew Brees Jr.”
(30:45) DraftKings: Most Pass Yards by Rookie
(32:50) Daniel Jones: “He gave the WFAN crowd ammo to say WTF”
(37:00) Russell Wilson vs Justin Fields: “They’re gonna need the Justin Fields ability to make plays happen”
(42:45) Gardner Minshew starting over Aidan O’Connell: “This is probably the right approach. But his leash isn’t real long”

(48:45) “Shocker of the weekend. Are they worried about Kirk Cousins not being ready. That would be the only reason why you wouldn’t play Michael Penix”
